*psst* - it's you're not your.

How are the dice random when according to the dice analyser you throw an equal number of each dice, surely if they were random they wouldn't be equal?

It all boils down to the fact that you don't understand what "randomness" means. Read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random#Misconceptions ...

I'd be happy with a "Last Online" datestamp on their profile. That way, I can at least know if someone is still active.

I got into an arguement with another player because of his random and pointless attacks against me that were costing us both the game. Big surprise the guy got killed and I told him that I disliked his playing style and was putting him on ignore with the full intention of giving him a neg.

So ...

Sample size is too small. Read up on randomness. http://www.random.org is where the site gets it's dice randomness from.

When we win. 11 days left in the month, bud.

Bonii?

ahh a download, don't have it.

Figuring out where to find it and how to install it isn't clearly spelled out on the site either, unfortunately. Lots of people mention BOB and Greasemonkey but that's it. Follow these steps:

1) You have to use Firefox as your browser. Download it at http://www ...

Or, you click the dropdown and hit the 0 key on your keyboard...

Not quite sure how to make these instructions any clearer:

Revolutionary War is a great idea, and I can't believe there isn't already one.

Have you thought of doing one with specific Revolutionary War battles as territories?

Otherwise, the map is too vertical.

No, I think thats a silly idea - but i like your OP's idea...which solve solve your problem anyway becuase you could join only games in which no missed turns are allowed

True, true. I was just thinking out loud. My main suggestion is to allow flexible missed turns. I'd love to only join games ...

Your second post is a horrible idea...

Insightful. Care to explain why?

I thought it was a good idea so that the site could identify deadbeats easier and faster. Once people show they are here to stay, then can play in "regular" games (3 consecutive missed turns).

Until that time, they are ...

In addition, this functionality could lead to a rule where new players (with less than 5 finished games under their belt) can ONLY join games with max allowed missed turns=1.

I would like to suggest the addition of the following functionality to games:

The ability to create a game with a variable "Maximum Allowed Consecutive Missed Turns" setting. It defaults to 3 (the current # of consecutive missed turns) but could be throttled up or down.

I believe the site would ...

please dont make a new thread unless you actually plan on making the map yourself, and have a draft ready. If all you have is an idea post it in the sticky at the top of this fourm labeled "Map ideas-free to a good home"
thank you

That's a good idea for floating an idea, but people should be free ...

Maybe you missed it, but the original maps have entered the public domain.

Idiot. Sites don't give away 20 dollars for joining. You can try poker, but then there will be that little Catch where you have to play cash games for many hours to be able to cash out that 20 dollars or get it in the first place, by that time, the 50 dollars you spent to join it will likely be ...

there is also a good detailed map in the "Wicked" book, I am planning to use one of those maps

Beware, the maps in Wicked and Son of a Witch are not accurate maps of Oz. And they will also be copywritten.

The old (real) maps of Oz used in Baum's Oz books from the early 20th century are now in ...

I don't know of any easy way to fix it, but I would recommend that you switch to using Internet Explorer or Firefox so then it will work correctly (I had the same problem using Safari)

But I like Opera. I don't like IE, Firefox, or Safari. There's a reason I don't use them. :(

Unfortunately ...

Just play with no cards. Essentially, that will have the same effect.

But if you own continents and get bonuses, you should be able to reap the rewards.

Wow, so that information IS there!

I swear, I read and re-read that legend 3 or 4 times and overlooked that.

Honestly, how this map made it into production really boggles my mind. Look at the map and tell me how to distinguish:

NOL New Orleans SUN
NOL New Orleans CIT
NOL New Orleans CRE

Without using BOB. What the hell do SUN, CIT and CRE stand for? And how do I know that using the map legend?

Such a ...

Forgive a newbie, but what is the etiquette for leaving bad feedback for suspected deadbeats? After 3 consecutive missed turns, is it proper to leave bad feedback for a user?

Out of curiosity's sake, is there a way to surrender a game? Doing so would essentially be the same as missing 3 consecutive turns, but could be done immediately.

I could see the benefits if you had something come up "in real life" and wouldn't be around to complete your games. Surrendering would ...
